Description I got banned from reporting because I reported to many art thieves and other such violations of the rules



Wow. So much attention lately! Thanks everyone!

If this is quite true then this place looks more retarded to me than it did before.

Quite sad. I see no hope in this place ever getting better at some rate.

Well, Akreon drew a comic about dA's consistent failures. And they took notice, they did.

Now they're asking him to come down and talk to them personally.

Who knows what will happen? He seems to know what's up and now he's in a position to tell them where they can't help but hear him. Hopefully it'll spark a wave of change.

Although, with the weight of personal experience on my shoulders, my expectations are, of course, low.

Well, whatever happens happens I suppose. But there is no way you can get me to spend money on their crap.

I know, I'm sick and tired of always seeing porn of everything pushed up to the front page over more interesting or important things. Not that I'm calling my own thing here important, of course - that would be unwarranted self-importance on my part!

I've long since decided to stay. Mostly because there's no where else to go for artistic communities.

That's fricking counterproductive.

On one hand, they probably have that instated so that people don't go apeshit and report millions of photos as a troll, but on the other hand, if that's how it's going to be, they need to fine-tune it so that people who are actually helping don't get banned from reporting violations. -_-

I am curious, since I report at least 10-30 submissions a day, how many of yours were sent back invalid?
I rarely get an invalid so I'm wondering about it.
